Bishop is a geologist who has worked the spectrum of research- exploration – production for ExxonMobil (29 years) and Unocal (2 years). During this time he has ‘seen the world’ both as an explorationist and as a synthesizer of global exploration opportunities. He has developed geological ‘yardsticks’ for play and prospect evaluation, developed economic and geological criteria to compare diverse exploration opportunities, contributed fundamental scientific concepts of hydrocarbon accumulation and diapir mechanics, mapped at the reservoir to multi basin scale, and is a guy who has a grand time doing petroleum geology. Easton Hilton, Columbus, OH.
